For an institution which constantly harps on how the rest of us should vote, live and think, Hollywood often demonstrates shocking incompetence in its own business. A minor point is last night when Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty announced that La La Land won best picture. Nope, it was Moonlight. Glad they had acting professionals up there reading off cards. Wags suggested that La La Land should have campaigned more in swing states.
I pay no attention to liberal Hollywood. But it is gratifying to see these actors and actresses exposed for the fools that they are. BTW, why should we pay attention to any of these people who make a living by pretending to be someone whom they are not? They are all pretenders.
Formal wear also looked good on the Titanic.

Perfect!
It’s not her fault. The Russians Hacked The Oscars!
I hear La La Land is demanding a recount.
“BTW, why should we pay attention to any of these people who make a living by pretending to be someone whom they are not?”
Well Philip, these actors think much more higher of themselves.
This is what Viola Davis said on her acceptance speech for Best Supporting Actress:
“I became an artist and thank God I did,” she continued “because we are the only profession that celebrates what it means to live a life.”
Forget Doctors, Lawyers, Teachers, Firefighters, Counsellors, Police, Marines, Favtory Workers, Chefs, Factory workers, office workers etcetera etcetera…these fine people don’t know how to “live a life”.
Hollywood has its head so far up its bottom.
Hollywierd has become irrelevant
Hollywood is not as irrelevant as I wish it were. How many millions watched that ridiculous program..to see actors and actresses give themselves awards? In the US, I am sure it was a vast amjority of women..and homosexual men who care about that crap. The day will come when the big one hits and Hollywood will be utterly devastated. I do not partake of their garbage…TV shows, movies, music..it is all trash. If enough people thought the same way Hollywood would change or go out of business.

Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus made the statement you noted. I agree with both of you.
Viola Davis. We, spouse and I, caught that statement. ( ? ) I can’t understand why she would muck up a heartfelt thank you…..but that industry isn’t real so possibly the money and fame diminishes the ability to think before they speak. Who knows? Pride? Excitement of the moment?
If she believes what she said she is indeed a very very small insignificant woman. She might qualify for least in the kingdom of Heaven.
My apologies Philip and Lucius (lack of sleep with 3month old Bub whilst reading and commenting at 4am in the morning ?- I get night and day mixed up ?) Good commentary all round though.
re:Viola Davis comment- I think most (not all) people that get into acting are motivated by the need to constantly feel they need validation from the world and possibly have struggled with major self-worth issues their whole life- who else would feel that their job is THE most valued job in the world and in a class of its own, not even the Queen thinks like this. All jobs need to have the service of others at their core, not be self-serving, or self-centred. In the end only God can truly validate us. I hope and pray Hollywood realises this one day.
Oh Ezabelle!
3 month old!
God bless you!
What is the greatest vocation on earth?
Motherhood.
Peace dear soul.
Thank you for your kind words Philip. God Bless You.
